Bosnia and Herzegovina, is located on the Balkan peninsula with Croatia to the north, west and south-west, Montenegro to the south-east and Serbia to the east. While mostly mountainous it also has access to a tiny portion of the Adriatic Sea coastline.

Despite being in the middle of Yugoslavian civil war in the 1990s it is now a great safe travel destination.

Visitors come to see craggy mountains, snow-caked peaks of the Dinaric Alps, turquoise rivers, medieval castles and tumbling waterfalls.

Towns and cities like Sarajevo, Mostar and Stolac where Ottoman and Byzantine, Roman and Balkan, Slavic influences mix together offer the tourist a complex blend of east meets west.
